MD2 Personal Medication System

Even a spry young adult such as myself can use one of these, let alone grandma and grandpa. About a little bigger than a coffeemaker, the MD.2 Personal Medication System, marketed by ePill.com, is a little more helpful than the average pill dispenser.
This helps patients take their medication regularly so that it works effectively:
The unique home-based system, which has been around since 2000, dispenses up to 60 doses of any solid oral medication. The device, hooked up to a phone jack, even monitors compliance by calling the caregiver if medications are not taken on time.

“The other night, I was in the living room, and I fell asleep,” Berry said.
“My daughter called and said, ‘Did you fall asleep?’ ”
“It’s great they keep track of me.”

Caregivers can also log on to the Internet and track their family member’s dispensing records so they can confirm that the machine is doing what it should.
While more expensive (and stylish) than your $5 plastic MTWThF pill case, at $850 dollars it provides an ensured system of drug delivery.Product page…More from Nashua Telegraph…

Exponential Medicine is a unique and intensive four-day experience that gathers world-class faculty, innovators and organizations from across the biomedical and technology spectrum to explore and leverage the convergence of fast moving technologies in the reinvention of health and medicine.

Our home in San Diego at the iconic Hotel del Coronado is the magic X-factor in building connections and catalyzing deeper-than-usual conversation among faculty and participants. We make full use of one of America’s most beautiful seaside resorts; its history beautifully complements the future-focus of Exponential Medicine.

From talks given in a custom-designed theater with multiple configurations for listening and idea generation, to our hands-on technology lab, beachside morning yoga, dinners, and bonfires—Exponential Medicine is a high energy, bold redesign of a medical conference.
